Introduction

Literary journals are print and electronic publications that publish shorter works of literary merit.

Most publish short fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry, but some just focus on one genre.

Historically most literary journals were print, now the majority are electronic.

Some literary journals are interested in other work, such as plays, music, videos, graphic novels,

visual art, etc. Others are also interested in fiction or poetry that most journals consider to be

genre work (such as science fiction, or horror).

Literary journals are a great opportunity for new authors to get their work out into the world, and

for emerging authors to really establish their reputation and promote their work. Established

authors often use them to promote forthcoming work or larger collections from publishers.

This book is a companion of sorts to Submit Publish Repeat. That book really focuses on the

whys and hows of submitting. I cover a little bit of that in the first two chapters, but if you want

to know more, Submit Publish Repeat is the book for you.

This book, 180 Literary Journals for Creative Writers, is focused on the where. It contains

almost two hundred different literary journals that are interested in publishing work.

Every week, Authors Publish reviews a different literary journal. We have been doing this for

over five years now. Initially I did all the reviews myself and around three years ago, Ella Perry

took over. If you want to read her ongoing reviews, and are not a subscriber, you can subscribe

(for free).
